3.3.1 Rationale For this assignment, you will examine a specific Unit from the Senior Chemistry courses (MOE - SCH3U, or SCH4U).This assignment will provide you with ideas and approaches to a particular chemistry unit, as well as an opportunity to test out your ideas within your peer community. You will critically examine the chemistry content of your unit and develop a perspective on the process of unit planning, the selection of teaching and learning strategies appropriate for the content, and the implementation of specific chemistry practices. 3.3.2 Assignment Overview You will work in a group of 3 to 4 to develop the following sections:
Big Ideas with guiding questions
Unit Plan of 18-22 seventy-five minute classes
Minds On activity for the whole unit
Misconceptions (4-5) for the unit and possible ways to address these
Two activities, approximately forty-minutes in length
This assignment will be submitted to your instructor and posted in our online environment. In addition you will be required to have a 60-70 minute class presentation.
Peer Feedback for CCUA Presentations:
For the CCUA Presentations...Peer Feedback helps your peers and also yourself ... The following scaffolded questions helps you as you provide feedback to your peers about their presentation... Some scaffolding questions for the group presentations: (Copy and paste - into "discussion message" of the page link from the group)
What were some of the challenges that you could foresee in the activities and/or ideas presented today?
What were the successes that you saw from the presentation/activities?
What did you personally learn?
What do you need to know more of?
